Blake always enjoyed building things like a child engineer.It wasn't unusual for her to experiment with her father's research equipment.She thanks,in part,her short attention period. for her inquisitiveness,"I am always looking for something." For the last few years,Blake has been searching for signs of the universe's early existence- from the birth of the first stars to the“cosmic(字宙的)dark ages”一and she's building her own equipment to explore beyond the known universe,focusing on its distant past with novel radio technology.Since 2017,Blake and her team bave been engineering and planting radio telescopes in two of the Earth's most remote (and quietest)locations for the best shot at hearing the earliest voice of the universe. Initially,Blake planned a PhD in particle()physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab with messy equipment and tools everywhere at the California Institute of Technology."I didn't know about observational cosmology then but thought,'Whatever this is,I want to do that.” She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station,after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo."That really inspired my love for remote places,"she said. Eventually,she wanted to engineer her own instruments.After her year at the South Pole,she joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.At that time,the site decision was made for the largest radio telescope group on Earth. "This was also a leap of faith because I really couldn't continue the work I was doing before." Blake recalls."I had never done.radio before but I thought,'Let me give this a try and see how it goes." 24.What can we infer from Blake's joke in paragraph 1? A.She follows in her parents'footsteps. B.She develops an interest in telescopes. C.She lies about her parents'professions. D.She lives up to her parents'expectations. 25.What does the underlined word"inquisitiveness"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Talent. B.Courage. C.Curiosity. D.Intelligence. 26.What stimulated Blake's passion for distant places? A.Her visit to a lab in a university. B.Her wish to build her own equipment. C.Her faith in hearing the cosmic sound D.Her experience at a South Pole Station. 27.Which of the following best describes Blake? A.Confident and caring. B.Generous and optimistic. C.Modest and open-minded. D.Adventurous and determined. 4 c Huge piles of research on diet are published annually.The most shocking of these get reported in the media.All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong.Do scicntists really not know what's good for us,or is the news report to blame for the confusion? Misleading media coverage plays a role,but publicationr bias (is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published."What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,"says Vinay at Oregon Science University. One way to get around this problem is to conduct large,randomized controlled trials,which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables.But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods,as few would risk eating habits on chance;fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit.Instead,nutrition scientists usually observe what people eat by asking them to fill out food diaries,and then track the health of participants over a given period of time. In these "observational"studies,people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference. People who eat what is seen as an unhealthy diet-with more fast food,for instance-might have unhealthy lifestyles in other ways,such as smoking.Consequently,dietary effects are hard to set apart. Because of these difficulties,even today's most recommended dietary advice lacks good quality evidence.This doesn't mean we can eat as much cake as we like.But it does suggest that within limits of common sense,one way of eating is about as good as another.While admittedly simple advice,it removes the pressure to constantly run after the latest amazing diet or fear seemingly harmful foods.Within reason,trusting your stomach is mostly fine. 28.What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1? A.Scientists fail to figure out truth. B.News spreads confusion on purpose. C.Research on diet astonishes people. D.Media reports conflicting diet studies. 29.Which of the following news items suggests publication bias? A.Chocolate unexpectedly aids weight loss. B.Calorie restriction helps to slow aging C.Effects of zero fat diet require further tests. D.Whole grain diet improves heart health. 30.What do paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly discuss? A.The reliability of self-reported diet data B.How long-term diet tracking improves health C.The main problems in studying dietary effects D.How lifestyle factors affect diet research results. 31.What is the author's suggestion for food choice? A.Avoid potentially unhealthy foods. B.Consume varieties of foods. C.Count on the latest dietary advice. D.Follow body signals sensibly. 5 D A smoke bomb trom a party started a major blaze (near Los Angeles in September, just one of many recent wildfires ignited (by people.Now,an analysis of satellite data shows human-caused blazes spread much faster and kill morc trees than ones ignited by lightning. Fire has always been a part of California's natural history.But several centuries of human settlement have creatcd new conditions that promote its spread.Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84%of all wildfires in the United States,and 97%of all those that threaten homes. Human-caused fires always seemed more extreme,says Stijn Hantson,a fire ecologist at the University of California,Irvine,who led the new research.But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems(生态系s统)in Califomia had not been explored,.he notes.. To examine those differences,Hantson and his colleagues analyzed satellite data for 214 wildfires in California between 2012 and 2018.Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day,more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns,the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed "double or triple"the trees as lightning-caused ones Howeven there is no fundamental difference in the chemistry of a human-caused blaze."A. fire is a fire"Hantson says."It's the surrounding things that matter."Causes of fires ranging from improperly thrown cigarettes to sparking (power lines could ignite a blaze on any given day,he says,while lightning strikes and dry thunderstorms only happen seasonally. The researchers tracked meteorological data and found that human-caused fires were more likely to start on days with extreme weather conditions,and were more associated with drier, less-forested landscapes.This adds to scientists'understanding of how humans are extending the fire season,says Nathan Mietkiewicz,an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network. 32.The authon uses some data in paragraph 2 to show that A.wildfires are mostly caused by humans B.most wildfires threaten people's homes C.wildfire is a part of California's natural history D.wildfires break out frequently in the United States 33.What's the purpose of Hantson's research? A.To prove how extreme human-caused fires are. B.To find out the causes and solutions of wildfires. C.To explore the speed and effects of wildfires caused by humans. D.To examine the differences between a human-caused blaze and a nature-caused one. 34.How is the result presented in paragraph 4? A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons. C.By analyzing cause and effect. D.By giving definitions. 35.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A.Human-caused fires and lightning-caused fires are basically different. B.Lightning strikes and thunderstorms can always lead to wildfires. C.Wildfires only happen in dry,less-forested areas. D.Humans are to blame for the extended fire season. 6 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 In a world (surrounded by bad news it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. 36 If you make even one person smile today,you can help make this world a better place.Here is a list of ideas to help you. ...3.In this day and age where everything is sent via the Internet,it's a shock to receive a letterthrough the post.Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive impact.

Among the students were four close friends:Leo,Eric,Jason,and Alice.Though their personalities were quite different,they made a great team.Alice,the only girl in the group,was smart and well-prepared.She had brought along a compass,a map,and evera first-aid kit After arriving at the campsite,the students pitched their tents,gathered firewood,and helped prepare a simple meal.The campsite was surrounded by tall pine trees,and in the distance,a mountain stream could be heard.The teachers reminded everyone to stay within the marked area and never go off-trail alone. After lunch,the students were allowed to explore in small groups.Leo's group decided to follow a trail leading up a hill.According to Alice,there was a small lookout point that offered a beautiful view of the valley. As they walked,Jason kept running ahead,calling the others to hurry."Let's see what's up there!"he shouted.Alice followed closely behind,holding the map.Leo walked at a steady pace, checking that no one fell behind.Eric lagged at the end,clearly nervous about being so deep in the forest. The path became narrower as they climbed.Birds chirped in the trees,and dry leaves crunched under their shoes.The sunlight filtered through the branches above,casting dancing shadows on the ground.After about an hour,they reached the edge of a rocky area covered in leaves.The trail began to twist more than expected,and many landmarks they passed didn't match what was on the map. “I think the viewpoint is just beyond this slope(斜坡)，”Jason said,pointing excitedly. Leo looked uncertain."Let's be careful.It looks slippery." But before anyone could stop him,Jason had already climbed ahead. 注意： ()所续写短文的词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 9 Just as he reached the lop of the slope,his foot slipped.
